My dream car, opinions and comments needed!
Wow not many posts in this section! XD
I'm starting to wonder, considering my knowledge of cars is rather limited and I only have a basic Dodge Neon (called SX 2.0 here in Quebec) if that forum is good for me...hehe ^_^;;
But the post is about my maybe-future-plans and my dream car. You see, two years ago I have bought my little Nightwish, a 2004 Dodge Neon. Car had nice rims, a rear wing and A/C, but the most important was that it was standard, not automatic.
It's not an all powerful car, but it's a good car nontheless. Along those two years, considering I got a very small budget, I gave the car new side mirors (with blinkers), new tail lights (Mopar Tail Lights), seat covers (blue and black). Last week, I didn't know what to do during the weekend and I found a step-by-step how to change the lights of the gauge cluster into blue ones. And I decided that, since it required buying lighbulbs, unscrewing the dash and some not-too-hard other things, I'd do it. It went well, except that I should've went with LED lights from the start....the blue coloured lightbulbs don't light up well.... I bought the LED and it's much better!
So I found a body kit online from Wings West Racing Series...and I fell in love with it! I really like the looks it gives to the car! The example ( http://www.andysautosport.com/dodge/...g00186656.html ) is yellow and has a hood scoop and a rear wing that I dont like much, so I saved the pic, photoshopped it into a colour that looks like my car's, and put on my side mirrors, tail lights, and my rear wing (though coloured in black because I think it fits better) Only thing I don't like about the kit is the rear bumper...I would take another kind.
So the main question is this : do you people think I can use those side skirts and that front bumper, but use the rear bumper I've found there? Guy says it's a Mopar body kit. I don't like the front part of that body kit, but the rear bumper looks nice IMO. http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_i...0264_large.jpg
And also, what do you people think of the look for my car? Any suggestions? I know that those rims (Borbet anthracite, 17") I added to the pic are quite nice IMO and would be a nice addition to the car since my car currently has stock rims.

Any comments appreciated! ^_^

Hahaha thanks! First step is saving up cause getting all those parts will be a pain on the budget....x_x...
Though if anyone knows of a good place to get good quality used body kits...I'm pretty much of a newbie in the car-parts shopping thing...

True, I wasn't planning on getting too thin tires because where I live, the roads are kinda bad, so I don't want to kill the car's new rims or worst *once I get the rims of course*
Right now it's mostly saving up for an anti-rust treatment in October (I live in Canada and they put salt on roads during winter...bad for cars) and also my new SRT/4 muffler. The one my car has right now is rather used and rusted, there are some strange kind of rust bubbles forming close to the edge of the muffler, and I fear it might start leaking soon. So instead of getting one like mine, I'll go for a two pipes SRT/4 one, since I've been told it'll fit smoothly. ^_^
Also I replaced the blue lightbulbs to LED lights and here's the new level of blue!
Pretty nice IMO ^_^ I can see a lot better with the LEDs than the regular lightbulbs....though right now I have 6-8 blue lightbulbs that are useless....doom... ^_^;;
